A friendly reminder that it has historically taken ~20 years for inventions to diffuse into mass-market innovations. Ethereum’s invention of programmable money and smart contracts is barely ten years old. The roadmap is finally starting to click into place, and Pectra(s) next year will be a leap forward with AA, Verkle trees, based rollups, etc. The next ten years will see gradual architecture ossification and rapid adoption along the S-curve. Drivers for that adoption will include real-world asset tokenization, an explosion in stablecoin usage for payments and remittance, TradFi using DeFi rails for loans and investments, and a trustless marketplace of autonomous agents capable of transacting through their own on-chain identity. Forget about today’s shitcoins, ETHBTC ratio, Gary Gensler, and all that transient noise. Zoom out and the future is both bright and obvious. Ten years from now, we will be writing “in retrospect, it was inevitable”. You’re not bullish enough about Ethereum, anon

All past data points exist under the assumption of available abundant and cheap energy. What’s the future 10 years of we lift this assumption (all others being equal) ?

Reasons for asking include all big tech companies likely exploding their climate targets, as they claim being powerless in the face of growth in AI—10x more electricity demanding than search. Now what is the bill when replacing mano a mano by more and more electric transactions? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/sep/15/data-center-gas-emissions-tech
